Why are cctv installers not using the LSHF cat 6 cable when wiring domestic in Ireland. When wiring lights/sockets etc

Why would you be certifying someone else's work?

Post #1 says ......If i am certing the rewire of house and cctv installer installs standard cat 6 ( not LSHF)Cable i surely cannot cert that house?

I assumed the OP did the rewire ?

If he was a QC (qualified certifier) working for a company he could certify other employee, s work. But from the OP, s post it does, nt sound like its fellow employee, s he is dealing with.

i don’t know how the certs would work over there, but isn’t there a box for scope of works, or what you are actually responsible for?
Write down something like “all installation tested except data cables as done by others”
Then if building control or whoever receives the cert, they can ask the question.

you have covered your back, and paperwork to prove it.
if something happens down the line, then blame is pointed elsewhere.

Yes. There is a "comments" box where suchlike could be noted

Apologies for the late reply. (Hadn't seen this thread before.) But there is also the concept of "Subsystems" under I.S. 10101 (and ET 101 before). There are Sybsystem certs for these (although it's hard to see how it would apply to this - it's usually for a low voltage rather than ELV installation by a specialist company, e.g. lift installation or something similar. The Subsystem Cert is referenced in the normal Completion Cert and therefore the main electrical contractor isn't responsible for the Subsystem.

In relation to the OP, there is no doubt that network cabling is required to be to a minimum standard of Dca, -s2, d2, a2. The fact that it is data cabling does not bring it outside the scope of the Wiring Rules.
